Building a Mini Ramp Halfpipe [Start to Finish]

This video: Building a mini ramp halfpipe with materials from @OCRamps . Dimensions are 3.5’ tall x 12’ wide x 24’ long. I used Gator Skins for the finish on the ramp and OC Ramps Skate Paint on the rest of the exposed wood. I doubled the deck on one side to add standing room, storage underneath and stairs.

Having a mini ramp has been on my bucket list for many years so I’m stoked to finally make it happen!

I did this 40 yrs ago with my father, still remember how fun it was

Build and skate in flip flops? True talent

[MNSweet]

Your kids are definitely going to grow up knowing how to be active and have fun. Glad I stuck around after the workshop was completed, this is a fun build. I know it is in total contrast to my last comment but I would welcome a video explaining your board shaping and planning methods. I may not surf but I love all forms of engineering.

best ramp build on YouTube
love to see the whole family taken part

This video is really something else... Ben doesn't just build or makes stuff, he makes them with that tidy and elegant look, all clean and with that visual appealing esthetic that I really appreciate.
Backyard is getting insane with the shaping bay and miniramp, man!
Oh, and of course you and your kids skate in flip flops, geez you guys rock!
Awesome content as always man, keep it up 💪🔥

So awesome dude, very inspiring I feel like having 3 kids now and a ramp on the side, well done man.

[jim]

Wow! You'll have lots of new friends in the neighborhood with that ramp! Looks like you had a lot of good little helpers there already! Have fun and Stay Stoked!

This is so baller. I am going to be taking a ton of this as inspiration for the one I’ll be building. Thank you for showing all the steps and doing it right. I was trying to figure out what I’d do for the slopes but this showed how easy it can be. This is the cool stuff in life, shredding with the kiddos.

Cool build. I bought the Thrasher book of ramps several years ago and have built many small ramps for both the kids and myself

Pretty textbook. We used to make them when I was 16 the same way minus the 4x4 structure and steps. Wood was resourcefully sourced 😊.Nice.

At first I thought its pretty neat to have a skating ramp in your own yard, then I remember you're in California so it made total sense to have ramp in your own home. Your kids can learn from the easy ramps and you can keep an eye on them. So when they grow up they can brave the other skating parks around the city. Also, massive bragging rights when your kids go to school, they can say "hey I have a ramp at home you guys wanna come over to practice skateboards?". Very nice!

Edit: Yes, I said practice skateboards

Once I own a home I’m building my own mini ramp. Nothing will be more satisfying then waking up on the weekend sipping my coffee and coming out to my own mini. I won’t stop skating till I physically can’t

[AnthonyBernhardt]

I love the accessories. The door on the back. The steps. Well done! Your kid dropped in with flip flops what a savage!

[paulfield]

Great work dude, that thing looks amazing! Love that the whole family helped. Hope you guys make some awesome memories on that thing.

[facelessce]

Your wife and kids are rockstar helpers with that build. ❤

The video title is misleading. It should say "Building A Prefab Miniramp". Building one from scratch is way harder. I've been making ramps since 1984. I have some techniques for making the perfect quarterpipe and for making the coping stick out the right amount that nobody knows about. That's why my ramps are smoother and more perfect than the ones at the skatepark.

Father of the year no doubt! Very nice.

Gramps always said “if you can’t build a proper house at least build a proper mini ramp”. Nice ramp!

[КотОборотень-зц]

It's a fine, man! It is a beautiful! You very great father!
